17. Don't Most Guys Quit Lying About Their Height In HS?

Fri Nov 30, 2018, 11:35 AM

Nov 2018

I was not one of those who lied about how tall i was, but i had friends who did.

Weird thing is that i knew i was 5'7" in my Jr. year of HS, and my cousin who lived with us was 6'1". Guy we hung around with was between us, but closer to me and insisted he was 6 foot a half inch. It was obvious to anybody with working eyes that he was not a half inch shorter than my cousin. More like a half inch taller than me.

His brother who was at least an inch shorter than me, insisted he was 5'9". We had a couple other dudes we knew like that too.

The only guys, other than me and my cousin that didn't lie about it were tall guys.

But, by college, i knew almost nobody who lied about their height.

All which brings me to the arrested development aspect of PINO who at 70 years old still feels a need to lie about his height.
